From Jim:

We'll need homegrown networking in case Obama reinstates the fairness doctrine and neuters talk radio and possibly even the Internet.

We need to get to know each other personally. Local networking is the key. Meet and know your local FReeper allies. Exchange phone numbers and email addresses. Build websites and mailing lists. Penetrate into other conservative or political groups. Educate and recruit. We take it back one assembly district, one city, one county, one state at a time. No, belay that. We do it simultaneously in each and every assembly district, city, county, congressional district and state in the entire country!

Go forth and DO it, y'all!!!

Who is in the Dallas metroplex besides me? We can do one here that would draw all of northeast Texas and probably southern Oklahoma.

I don’t have the Texas list, but please whoever does, put me on it and ping me, and let’s roll.

Say WA? Evergreen State ping

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.

Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.

Jim, I think a PAC would be useful and likely turn out a lot more effective than we might believe in the beginning. A REAL conservative outlet, and alternative to the GOP. I would love to hear more.

I am looking into venues & possible education/entertainment opportunities for a West Virginia State FReeper Conference. I am gonna stick my butt in the wind for this one. Hope there’s enough interest.

Yes, after the “stimulus vote I agree.

And to think I admired Susan Collins until this past week.
Did not always agree with her, but now I will do all I can to replace Collins and Snow-unfortunately we don’t have a very good bench in the Republican party.

Hey Jim, I’m up for Atlanta. Three hour ride from here.

FWIW, Atlanta is also home to Neal Boortz.

All of this sounds great, count me in 200%, especially what you stated about getting to know one another personally. To that end, I take this opportunity to point out again that the Michigan state board (and I suspect others) is not working properly.

On each state board, there is offered the "To be notified of new messages in this locale, click here" option. When one clicks this on the MI board, a message pops up letting you know the document doesn't exist.

This has been hurting us in the Great Lake state since before the election. Many of us used to make great use of the MI board, particularly for local and state politics and networking. It's not just a matter of us being to lazy to peek in on the state board once in a while; without the instant notices, many of us literally forget that it's there.

Is there some way this can be fixed? I know we're not the only state having this particular problem. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I’m up for a meeting in the SF East Bay, or any SF county.

If you would like to be added or dropped from the Michigan ping list, please freepmail me.

Great idea ping. We need to get on board with this, even if we have to make our very own mitten cell.

Definitely interested, and thanks again for the ping. While I am in the UP, I would definitely take the time to come downstate if something gets going. I believe I could probably get some others to join as well. As my organizing skills are lacking, I must count on you or whoever you find gets something going to ping me, if you would be so kind. Thanks again, really appreciate your pings, Grellis.

If the largest number of freepers live in Southern California, then this should be a major factor, and of course the weather.

An off-list topic ping to all lists (and a few others):
Jim Robinson: ...a centralized FReeper meeting... regional meetings... taking our country back from the Marxists... rebuild our chapters and networking systems... stronger than ever... groups or chapters in every congressional district in the country... right down to the county and city level... recruit and penetrate the local political organizations at the district and state levels and right on through to national politics... our hits... largest numbers come from California, Texas, Florida and New York... meetings in Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Seattle, Atlanta, New Orleans, Las Vegas, etc... regional conventions being necessary in Northern and Southern California and two or more in Texas and Florida... whether or not we should form a PAC or a 527... building a network of conservatives on the ground... would like to start entertaining serious proposals for possible locations and dates for Northern and Southern California. Also will need volunteers to help organize and coordinate our activities... I'd like to attend as many of these events as I possibly can, so hopefully, they will not all be scheduled on the same weekend.
